Super processor chatgpt AI bryce young throws it away on 4th down instead of doing anything else

lol gg this team stinks again

I want Bryce to succeed and live up to his draft position. I'm just frustrated we've seen this middling Bryce far too often during season starts, and for what we've given up to draft him, I'd like him to be a settled top notch starter in the league, not a "maybe he'll be top tier in a decade." Sunk cost fallacy is at play here, and if Young doesn't show out consistently, it's time to move on.

Bryce's ultra super microchip AI processing on full display. Why run for the easy first down when you can throw right into triple coverage!

Imagine if we had though. There's no way we would've kept Gano if we drafted a guy like that.

Cam Newton is surprisingly a decent commentator. The rest of this pre-game though, pure brainrot cringe.

Bryce Young still hasn’t shown he can open a season on the right foot. While he’s proven he can close strong, my expectations for these early weeks remain low until he demonstrates otherwise. He does get a relatively soft matchup against the Jaguars, so hopefully he shows signs of putting the early-season struggles behind him, but I’m not overly optimistic just yet. Doesn't help he barely had any preseason reps. We'll see.

I came across an interesting and rather unusual take from former Panthers running back Mike Davis about his ex-teammate Christian McCaffrey. On the “Raw Room” podcast, Davis described his time in Carolina playing behind McCaffrey as a “blessing” overall. But then the tone switched as he threw in this sharply worded critique: McCaffrey was “selfish as hell” for how much playing time he hogged. Don't believe me? Here’s what Davis specifically said: He recalled how even when McCaffrey had a bruised foot, Davis expected to see some action—only to watch McCaffrey stay on the field the entire game. He keeps piling on and on, just flabberghasted at McCaffrey's selfishness for staying in the game despite his touched. Quite the interesting podcast, lol. Here's the article as reference: https://sports.yahoo.com/article/49ers-christian-mccaffrey-selfish-hell-165032755.html

I'd like to see Mike Remmers get a shot at starting for RT. Can't imagine he'd be that much worse than Chandler, right?

6 wins is what I'd expect best case. Some decent consistency from offense finally paying off, but I suspect that not much will help overcome a rather lackluster defense with middling depth. Evero fired midseason resultingly.

Yeah Plummer needs to never see an NFL field again. Dear god

Coaching seems improved with Canales and co taking over. Plummer trying to put guys into hospitals aren't helping lol. At this point trade him for Richardson and a bag of peanuts or something.

Letting conversions on 3rd and long and 2 and forever is quite peak modern day Carolina defense

It's preseason. Theoretically we shouldn't be concerned as teams essentially use that as an extension of practice rather than focusing on winning. However, this is the modern era Carolina Panthers, and their past preseason performances were in fact an indicator of how the year would go. Thus far, nothing has been done to disprove that pattern. So we'll see. Likely another middling season if this performance is what we are to expect versus any half decent team. I'm not holding out hope that I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Man haven't seen a guy in a Panthers jersey running routes and catching like TMac has in a long while

Well at least there's some passion lol. Not smart passion, but at least he's not nonchalant. Would rather see that than the complacency with himself he said he had last season

It's been too long since the defense was able to get any semblance of consistent pressure. It's encouraging to see some more effort even if it's against the Browns' redshirts.

Yeah that's why Sanders dropped as far as he did... And why he probably was a reach at the 5th.

Pre-season absolutes are dumb and are an exercise of futility. But at the same time we've had multiple years of preseason with the offense not looking so hot so it's fair for some to question if that's a norm.

Well at least it wasn't our starter getting blown up on that protection. But on the flip-side, that isn't exactly how you'd want your depth to perform on a "showcase" first series.

That’s a fair point. He definitely benefited from facing softer defenses in the latter half of the season. Still, I think it’s impressive how much progress he made. Going from a UFL type backup to a competent starter, even against easier competition, is no small feat. Does bring into context why it was historical, as his prior play was that putrid, but still a good leap nonetheless. That said, the real test will be whether he can maintain consistency and solid play over a full season. If we’re going to see any meaningful return on our trade-up investment, he’ll need to prove it wasn’t just a late-season flash. We’ll find out soon enough whether it was a fluke or the beginning of something special.

Sure but Dave Tepper isn't letting the drama surrounding him enter the building lol.

Ooh I like. Incredible 2023 tape, decent 2024 season at a heavier weight (280+). Some early rumblings this year of top 10 potential. Explosive motor and very young (20). Lost weight by the draft and he seems to be better for it. Nasty spin move. Good value.

Yeah frankly I've never been fully on board with Evero's scheme. Main concern is how he's carried over a poor run defense philosophy from Denver to Carolina. A bit too easy letting opponents dice us up too. Plus never a good look when a player points out a discrepancy between how they'd like to play vs how they're forced to. I'd rather move on and see if we can do better.
